So I noticed this the other day going through my running apps. Upon a reboot, without opening any apps, I noticed that half my app drawer was open. So I manually forced stopped all of them, which naturally quickened my phone and seemed to help battery. I just don't understand why this is happening?
[Thunderbolt General] thetwiztidfreak:
Common problem with Android, I had same problem with every Android device I've had. That's why we have task killer apps, though this is something the OS should do anyways
[Thunderbolt General] adamd1169:
It isn't a problem with android. It is the way android works. It keeps things ready to be opened if needed. If you close them manually they will just restart using up memory and your battery. Task killers aren't good for much except in rare cases of force closing crashed apps.

And this should probably be in the general section not development.
[Thunderbolt General] msburr87:
My bad, I put it here cuz I thought it may have been because I'm rooted running debloat. Never had that problem on my dx or if I did I didnt notice. Anyway thanks for the responses
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
see I don't agree with that at all. When using froyo, task killers are a must. And these apps don't just "reopen" if I kill them all in my task killer and come back 20 mins later, maybe an app or two has opened, but not the 30 when my phone first boots.

Gingerbread is a whole different story.
[Thunderbolt General] thetwiztidfreak:
Yeah I notice when using task killers my battery life is drastically increased. And has been with all 6 Android phones I have had. And if those app running don't drain battery why do most Verizon employees install task killer for u at purchase?

[Thunderbolt General] strongergravity:
I use an app called Autorun Manager. It will tell you which apps automatically start and lets you disable them. The nice thing - it tells you which one's are self-restarters. Don't disable them because they will restart & slowly kill your battery as they fight the killing (just as they would any other task manager).
[Thunderbolt General] thetwiztidfreak:
Now that sounds like a useful app will have to check it out thx.
[Thunderbolt General] distortedloop:
Completely, 100% inaccurate....this is not a "problem", it is the way the OS is supposed to operate. This isn't Windows, it's linux. ;)

Okay, maybe not 100% inaccurate. There are the occasional rogue apps that you'll improve performance on by killing them, but they're not the rule.

Along with Autorun Manager to stop apps from opening on start, I'd suggest using AutoKiller Memory Manager from the same author: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rs.autokiller

Probably the worst named app ever, because it makes people think it is something that it isn't. It's not a task killer, per se, it's a way to tweak the settings in Android that control Android's own memory management scheme. MinFreeManager is another one. If your handy with the terminal, you can do the same with a cat command.

For a much better explanation of how Android works in this regard, check out this blog post: http://www.androidcentral.com/fine-tuning-minfree-settings-improving-androids-multi-tasking

ANd a few others that link back to one of those 3.

This is not my phone. I am helping my buddy who attempted to perma-root his phone using Visionary+ 14. I have an evo, and several other android phones and understand the basics of ADB and how to do most this stuff.

After he applied the patch, we are stuck on the white HTC screen. The problem is, it does NOT have the ENG SPL, we are still s-ON and still have stock recovery.

Here is what i have attempted so far:

download and tried to have it reload PC10IMG.zip - Got an error that said the version i was trying to install was older than the one i already had. I downloaded the latest one i could find.

Since i can get into the stock recovery, i downloaded and tried to use update.zip to reinstall things correctly, but that didnt work. It didnt error out and looked like it installed correctly, but still just stuck at the white HTC screen.

I cannot access ADB (at least any way that i know how).

Yes, i have the correct USB drivers installed and ADB is working as i have accessed it for other phones.

Here is the phone stats:

VISION PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.82.000

MICROP-0425

RADIO-26.03.02.26_m

eMMC-boot

Sep 2 2010, 17:59:38

I cannot find the right RUU to give that a try either. I have found a few that MIGHT be right, but i dont want to mess it up more by flashing the wrong thing (if this would even help.. i dunno)

ANY HELP WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frettfreak:
Anyone?? Help????
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
You only posted a few hours ago. On a weekend. Might want to be a little more patient than that...

And you stated you have S-OFF? But not the engineering HBOOT? So were you using Visionary to temproot and then used gfree to get S-OFF? If so, you should be able to flash a custom PC10IMG with the radio removed (so it doesn't check for the version number). I know there is a thread containing one made by Hot_Hands that some people have used.

Or did you actually mean you had S-ON and that was just a typo? If that's the case, you're at the same point as a lot of others who have semi-bricked their device with Visionary (there are lots of threads out there with people describing this exact situation---phone had the OTA already, still S-ON, no ADB access, stuck at the HTC screen). Don't think anyone's come up with a solution yet. Most are just waiting and hoping that an RUU of 1.22 comes out at some point.

And just to make sure, you tried leaving the phone on for a while before connecting with ADB? And ADB didn't work in recovery either?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frettfreak:
Good point!! Sorry.. just a little anxious. Dont want to tell him his phone is bricked....

Also... maybe no one responded cause i am a tard.... its s-ON still, not S-OFF :o

you mean leave it on the white HTC screen for a while? What is a while? I left it for a minute or 2 then tried and no dice... you think longer? Also, no ADB when in recovery (i think this is because its stock recovery maybe??)

i DO have access to fastboot (i think) but not sure if this gives us any where to go with it??

Sorry for the confusion and pushy-ness and thanks for your help!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Well, like I said before, this is the type of semi-brick that people seem to be stuck in when Visionary fails and I haven't seen a working solution. When I said to leave it at the HTC screen, it was just something mentioned in the how to recover semi-brick thread you linked to in the original post. Unfortunately, if that didn't work, you might by out of options.

EDIT: And oh, I forgot to mention about fastboot. Although it might seem like fastboot detects the phone properly, you cannot actually use it to flash anything unless you have the engineering HBOOT, so that doesn't help any.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
Maybe geting the orginal stock rom and flash it through bootloader
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frettfreak:
Hmmm how do I do that? Is there a different way other than adb? I will check again but pretty sure I don't have adb access (I think this is what the eng spl does but I am just guessing here) does fastboot allow Me to do anything like that?

I rooted my thunderbolt. After flashing clockwork mod, I downloaded the rom of my choosing. Then when booting to recovery to flash the rom, I get kicked to the bootloader. Help!??!?

Ps: It seems its that clockwork mod wont take even though rom manager says flashed sucessfuly

EDIT: I did some more investigation and after redoing this

"Step 5

Next, enter the following commands:

adb shell

/data/local/psneuter

To unlock eMMC:

adb shell

/data/local/wpthis

exit

Step 6

Please pay attention – this is very important. This step involves a small chance of bricking if you mess up.

To push the eng bootloader:

adb push hbooteng.nb0 /data/local/

adb shell

/data/local/busybox md5sum /data/local/hbooteng.nb0

If the output does not match "6991368ee2deaf182048a3ed9d3c0fcb" exactly, stop, delete it, and re-download it. Otherwise, continue.

Now we will write the new bootloader.

dd if=/data/local/hbooteng.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Confirm proper write:

/data/local/busybox md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p18

If the output does not match "6991368ee2deaf182048a3ed9d3c0fcb," try again; if it still doesn’t work, seek help from chat.andirc.net in channel #thunderbolt. DO NOT REBOOT.

Now, reboot your phone and put the custom RUU (PG05IMG.zip) on your SD card. Then flash it. This will upgrade you to release firmware with an S-OFF bootloader.

Next, run this command:

adb reboot bootloader

After it flashes, you will be running release firmware with S-OFF."

I have working recovery with S-Off. Just thought I would update incase this happens to anyone else

I have a bad impression about case-mate.
[HTC Incredible S] oyumurtaci:
This is pretty good news. I was going back and forth between a hard or silicone/rubber case and a full-body invisible shield (though they still haven't offered a hint as to whether or not one will be offered), but since the IS is actually quite reasonable in size I could go with a case-mate...
[HTC Incredible S] shiftyllama:
Here in the UK i recently brought the Casemate barely there from my local carphone warehouse and it seems to be, so far as i haven't actually dropped the phone yet, a good case. As the name suggests adds very little exta bulk to the phone.

Also it comes with a screen protector

The screen protector is already available and the rest of the cases are expected to be available for purchase in Europe in the middle/end April
[HTC Incredible S] rexlesaunder:
I've had quite good experience with the Case-mate barely there cases, they provide the adequate protection with a range of colour choices also.

But at the same time I am deciding between several other cases as well, I definately won't be investing on more than one case though, for I don't see myself keeping the phone too much longer, around 6 months perhaps when the summer holiday comes and we may see a few more surprises.

PDair HTC Incredible S Leather Case

]HTC Hard Shell

They all have their own selling points, I have never really had to complain about both Case-Mate and PDair but they serve different purposes for me in someways, the Case Mate is alot more casual, and the PDair is mainly for work.

The Hard Shell shown by Mobilefun seems a reasonable choice but price is TBC, if it had other colours coming soon it would be great as well.

Safe Skins are soft silicone and they cover all the back and outer edge on the front part of the phone.

[HTC Incredible S] Charlie360:
Does the barely there case allow dust and other particles between it and the phone? The reason I ask was that I had a similar product for my iPhone 3 and whilst it protected the phone well from drops etc. I found that the build up of dust inside the case actually rubbed against the back of the phone and marked it quite badly - so to an extent defeated the object.
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
This wont be a problem since Incredible S has a rubbery back anyways vs iPhone 3(G)s which have shiny reflective back which should scratch easily from dust particles.
[HTC Incredible S] Charlie360:
Don't you think it will scratch through the relatively thin rubbery finish to the plastic just beneath?
